Joe Kiani, the founder of Masimo Corporation, is still heavily involved in the company as its CEO and Chairman 11.
11: It’s the latest tug-of-war that could see the ouster of Masimo Chairman and Chief Executive Kiani from the company he founded in 1989 and built it into one of the world’s most successful medtech companies. Politan two years ago built up an 8.9% stake, similar to the size of Kiani’s position. View Source
MEDIUM RISK

Masimo Corporation's financial situation presents a medium risk. While the company has shown strong performance in its first-quarter 2024 results and continues to gain market share with higher contracts with hospitals 12, there are concerns regarding its overdependence on its Signal Extraction Technology (SET) unit and macroeconomic issues 13. Additionally, the company is facing challenges from activist investor Politan, which has led to significant stock price volatility and potential changes in board control 1415. The company's stock has also experienced a notable decline, losing almost $4 billion in market cap since April 16. Furthermore, Masimo is in discussions to spin off its consumer business, which could impact its financial stability in the short term 1718.
12: Strong Q1 Results: Masimo’s first-quarter 2024 results buoy optimism. Per management, shipments of non-invasive technology boards and instruments, excluding handheld and fingertip pulse oximeters, totaled 50,400 during the quarter. The company continues to gain market share, along with higher contracts with hospitals. Moreover, it expects shipments to cross 55,000 from the second quarter and reach more than 60,000 in the second half of 2024. Management plans three product launches in 2024, namely Freedom, H1 and the next-generation version of its Root Connectivity platform. View Source13: Masimo Corporation MASI is well-poised for growth in the coming quarters, courtesy of its research and development (R&D) efforts. The optimism, led by a solid first-quarter 2024 performance and its solid product portfolio, is expected to contribute further. However, concerns regarding overdependence on its Signal Extraction Technology (“SET”) unit and macroeconomic issues persist. View Source14: Rift With Politan: Masimo has been facing challenges from activist investor, Politan, since last year. Politan acquired a stake in Masimo last year and added two members to the latter's board. Politan has been trying to gain control of the board since then. Currently, the activist investor has nominated members against MASI's CEO and founder, Joe Kiani, in a proxy vote for electing new board members. A potential loss of control over the board for Kiani may lead to uncertain times. Although Politan is claiming that it will help boost shareholders' value after gaining the board's control, it may take some time to get reflected in the company's share price.
